The battle for food freedom actually began when raw milk farmers were being shut down across the nation. Raw milk is the cornerstone of the food freedom movement and the two are as one. Those with a self serving interest in raw milk do not want to talk about liberty, rights, or freedoms; they do however want to gain the favor of the "king" and have him approve their operations with annual fees, over-burdensome regulation, and more loss of liberty for small family farmers. Little do these people realize that a 'loss of freedom for one is a loss of freedom for all'. A Wisconsin Family Farmer, Vernon Hershberger, is currently facing prison time (3 years) and thousands of dollars in fines, while "friends" fade away and look to the king for rules and regulations. With that being said I would like to put a twist on the song by Graham Nash, Chicago:

So our brother's bound and gagged and they've chained him to a chairWon't you please come to Wisconsin and witness liberty fading thereIn this land were known as badgers how can such a thing be fairWon't you please come to Wisconsin and show Vernon that you care

We can change the world rearrange the world

It's dying - to get betterPoliticians sit yourselves down, there's nothing for you hereWon't you please come to Wisconsin and join the freedom rideDon't ask old friends to help you `cause they'll turn the other earWon't you please come to Food Freedom or else join the other side

We can change the world rearrange the worldIt's dying - if you believe in justiceDying - and if you believe in freedomDying - let a man live his own lifeDying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door

Somehow people must be free I hope the day comes soonWon't you please come to a food freedom rally and show your faceFrom the bottom of the ocean to the mountains of the moonWon't you please come to food freedom no one else can take your place

We can change the world rearrange the worldIt's dying - if you believe in justiceDying - and if you believe in freedomDying - let a man live his own lifeDying - rules and regulations, who needs them open up the door

One family traveled from California to Baraboo, Wisconsin to proclaim their support for Food Freedom and Vernon Hershberger

Now there have been numerous "raw milk rallies" across the U.S.A. and our northern neighbor, Canada, over the past 5 years. Yet I have failed to see a sign at any of these that proclaims "Food Regulation" , or "Your Majesty would you grant me the privlidge of consuming a glass of raw milk from my own cow, I beg of you, Sir". You may have heard the saying "don't bite the hand that feeds you" but beware do not lick the boots that are crushing thy brothers neck
